One sweet photoshoot

Saturday we had another photo shoot with Amy Free who can capture sweet moments on film. You know how you go on vacation and are sometimes disappointed in the pictures you come home with? You think, "it just was so much prettier in real life". Well, its kind of like the opposite with Amy. Evan was having an off afternoon and was pretty cranky... but these are the moments she somehow found and captured! Go Amy! Check it out here: Blue Bucket Photography

There is one set right away, and another little sneak preview a few posts before. :) That's our boy at almost one!

Cozy Weekend

Last weekend it was c-c-cold outside.
So we enjoyed a cozy weekend inside.

Snug as a bug in a rug...

Snowy Carolina Day

I woke up to this!

I could hardly sleep last night wondering if it
was really going to snow. I was
delighted to see this view out through our windows this morning.

Snapped a few shots throughout the day:

Of course I had to document Evan and his first snow day!

I think he likes it?

Last night Andy and I were awoken by an unfamiliar noise. I thought it was possibly dogs barking, but not quite. I wondered if my neighbors were outside in the middle of the night banging around, nope. Upon closer investigation it was Evan laughing out loud in his sleep. He was all out belly laughing while remaining completely asleep! I would love to know what he was dreaming about!

11 Months

New Years Day was Evan's eleven month
birthday. Time continues to move quickly
and Evan seems to grow even more quickly.
These pictures give a pretty good taste
of Evan at eleven months old.

Evan continues to be action packed!

Happy 7th Anniversary to us!

Our 7th Anniversary was Dec. 29th!
This year we snuck away to celebrate our
Anniversary uptown. Grandma was gracious to
play with Evan and even have a sleepover!

We had a fun evening eating at a nice restaurant
uptown and staying for free at a nice hotel.
Andy has lots of hotel points and in the hotel world,
"is kind of a big deal". The check in lady said,
"oh, Mr. gold club member" so you see what I mean.

Anyway, it was a special time to reflect on our
years together. I love you Andy!
Here's to many more b.a.b.e.

We forgot our camera, so here's a quick
picture we took with Andy's phone.

Christmas Favorites

These are my favorite pictures from Christmas taken
by the talented Auntie Em.

Playing Catch Up

I'm excited to have a quiet evening to catch

you up on our Christmas fun.

On Christmas Eve we spent the night at the Schmidts
and celebrated Christmas with them.
First we went down to the "grandparents park"
at Grandma and Grandpas for a little swing action.

Swinging with Grandpa:


Grandpa is SO much fun!

Now its time to open some gifts. I love this one
because Emily captured Evan investigating
the buttons with his index finger. He is very
careful when he investigates with the one finger!

Meeting George.

Having fun playing with the dimmer switch
and anything else within reach.
Helping Auntie Em hand out gifts.
After celebrating Christmas with the Schmidts,
we headed over to my moms for brunch with
the Blair side and had a gift exchange. It must
have been a whirlwind because I don't seem to have
any pictures! It was fun though.
